Aran Learn Along
This is the last and the 10th stitch in your Aran sampler scarf. The only thing left after this stitch is binding off. There are several ways to achieve this, and information will be provided for some different bind-offs. Thank you, Nancy Campion, for finding interesting facts about the Ladder Stitch.
All previous monthly patterns and other information can be found on the Guild’s Learn Along web page.
Upcoming Events
November Meeting
The wonderful button hole! Join us at the Willamette Heritage Center on November 12 from 10 a.m. to noon to make and discuss button holes. We will have time for people to try eyelet, three row eyelet, horizontal, and vertical. We will watch a YouTube video that Su Fennern will be using as “projectionist and teacher.”
Please bring a knitted swatch of 2×2 ribbing done over 32 stitches and 8 rows. (Cast-on 32 stitches, then P2, K2 all rows.) Use worsted weight yarn on size 6 or 7 needles. Bring scissors, yarn needle, etc.
You will have to wait until next year to learn about how to make buttons and choose the right button.
Trivia question to ponder: Why are there buttons on the outer side of a blazer?
